    Why when I see a Volkswagen scirocco is always driven 2-3 times over the speed limit? It's 3 am where the fuck you're so hurry to go? "Oh I'm late for sleep, better drive 100 in a 40 risking killing someone"

      This is why I'm convinced we need to start mechanically speed-limiting cars. We do it for ebikes, but god forbid we do it for vehicles 100x heavier. No, your 4000lb vehicle does not need to go 0-60 in 5 seconds just to get you to work everyday.

    I get it, you gotta go back for seconds... sometimes even thirds!

    I have no idea how that keeps happening. But eitherway, bollards are the solution (also closing down the road). https://www.google.com/maps/place/Royal+Phoenix+Chinese+Restaurant/@53.7490938,-2.3905702,126a,35y,210.48h,45t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x487b98d2cee0c6c3:0x6781aa673871b8cf!8m2!3d53.748291!4d-2.3917403!16s%2Fg%2F1td64vyh?entry=ttu

      Looking at the Street View, it's a mini roundabout, with barely any space. A mini roundabout has no stop signs. There's building in the corner that might be blocking the view of other cars. And I'm pretty sure no one follows the speed limit.

        Extremely poor road design. That is a simple T-intersection and it should be a 3-way stop, nothing more. A roundabout is completely inappropriate there.

          A 3-way stop would be a solid and cost effective drop in replacement. Just paint and new signs.
